Nope. Exonerated by Fitzgerald, who listened to all the tapes, and even exonerated by Blago, who said on the tapes he offered him nothing but his appreciation.

Already we're back to the Clinton years, where no irresponsible, reprehensible accusation is too low.

Ah, the Clinton years, where old friends die at an alarming rate, scandals from state politics keep nipping at their heels (whitewater, bimbo after bimbo), and democrat voters see no evil and hear no evil. I can understand why you would hope for a Clinton-like end to this particular scandal but it doesn't look good:

In the case that led to his arrest, prosecutors say Mr. Blagojevich discussed gaining “a substantial salary” at a nonprofit foundation or organization connected to labor unions, placing his wife on corporate boards where she might earn as much as $150,000 a year and trying to gain promises of campaign money, or even a cabinet post or ambassadorship, for himself.

According to the statement from prosecutors, Mr. Blagojevich told an adviser last week that he might “get some (money) upfront, maybe” from one of the candidates hoping to replace Mr. Obama. That person was identified only as “Candidate 5.”

In an earlier recorded conversation, prosecutors said, Mr. Blagojevich said he was approached by an associate of “Candidate 5” with an offer of $500,000 in exchange for the Senate seat. Prosecutors later identified Candidate 5 as Representative Jesse L. Jackson Jr. Mr. Jackson denied making any offer to Mr. Blagojevich or authorizing anyone to do so, and said he had been told by prosecutors that he was not the target of an investigation.

From the New York Times no less.
